STAT TEKS Revision Survey

In order to serve as a resource to policymakers, STAT collected feedback on the current Science TEKS from our members during Winter 2019. STAT will compile the feedback and actively engage with the Texas Education Agency and State Board of Education throughout the rewrite process. TEA will offer opportunities for public comment and stakeholders such as STAT to provide feedback, and our feedback will be informed by the information you provide on this survey.
